A Brutal Assault on an Ohicer by . New

Haven Tough.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Aug. S.-Edward
McDermott, one Of the most brutal toughs
in this city, assaulted and seriously, If not
fatally, pounded Charles F. Bollman, chief
Of the New Haven police department, Sun
day afternoon. Bollman's nose was broken
and his head was terribly bruised. He was
also kicked in several places. About one
year ago McDermott assaulted and brutally
kicked Officer Tighe and would probably
have killed him if Chief Bollman, who hap
pened to be passing near, had not come to
his assistance. McDermott was severely
punished for the offense, and swore ven-
geance against the chief. During his term
Of Office BollIuan has incurred the dislike of
a certain element Of the city, and they have
often threatened to pay him off. 1t is re-
ported that McDermott was hired to do the
pounding, but as yet there is no proof that
this is true. McDermott is under arrest.

OPPOSED TO STRIKES.
The brotherhood" Rapidly Growing In
Membership.


BosToN, Aug. 10-The Globe to-day
says: new secret organization of labor,
known as the Brotherhood" and in many
respects similar to the Knights Of Labor,
has been formed secretly and has already
grown to considerable proportions. The
Brotherhood has now been In existence over
year. It was formed in May, 1886, and
has gradually extended until it has estab-
lished local councils in many of the cities
and towns of this and other New England
states. Its organization ia kept profound
secret, and when spoken Of is never alluded
to by its name. As consequence, the
ramifcations of its network are hard to
trace, and it is impossible to say who are
its head officers and leading spirits, where
its headquarters are, or whether it has ex-
tended into the west or south.
Late last night it was ascertained that a
local council of the brotherhood had been
organized the previous evening in one of
the western towns of Massachusetts,, pre-
sumably PittsHeld, with several heretofore
prominent members Of the Knights Of La
Dor as charter members. The principles of
this new secret organization are contained
in printed circular, the following extracts
from which best give an idea of its aims
and objects:
"The Brotherhood is not a striking
machine. 1t seeks to remedy the evils Of
our social system by going to the fountain
head, and removing the causes by estab
fishing practical cooperation, thereby secur-
ing to the toilers just share Of the wealth
they create and removing the causes Of
strikes. Neither is it q political party; its
objects are higher than parties, for they
are based on human rights; but we do be-
lieve that most of the evils can be remedied
by the ballot only"
